USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Freezing IMPORTANT: Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen, causing damage. Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. To remove a shelf : Tilt up the front of the shelf in the direction of (1) and lift it in the direction of (2). Pull the shelf out. To replace a shelf : Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at a desired height. Then lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots. Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals. NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy. NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction. WARNING Suffocation Hazard When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe the vapors. NOTE: Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or spilling food. Sliding Out Shelves (optional on some models) You can slide some glass shelves in and out of your refrigerator as follows. To slide the shelf out, carefully pull front of shelf toward you. To slide shelf in, push shelf in until it stops. REFRIGERATOR SECTION REFRIGERATOR SHELVES The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. These units are all glass shelves. Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, saving energy. To remove a sliding shelf from its metal frame: 1. Pull the shelf out to the stop position. 2. Tilt the front of the shelf up and pull it past the stop position. 3. Lift up the shelf to remove. Replace the shelf by reversing the above steps. IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebblesized pieces. Convenience Shelves (on some models) Folding Shelf: You can store taller items such as gallon containers or bottles by simply sliding the shelf back. NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid dropping them. Adjusting Shelves Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace shelves in the position you want. 18
